Hugh Jackman: Singing Live for Les Misérables Feels Like Opening on Broadway, Every Time

Despite his critical and box-office success with a blockbuster one-man Broadway show this past season, Hugh Jackman is not missing the adrenaline rush of performing live on the stage every night. “I am right now doing a movie musical of Les Miz, where every day we record every take live, so basically the feeling of an opening night on Broadway is happening every day of my life right now,” Jackman told VF.com on Sunday at the Beacon Theatre before receiving his special Tony Award. “’Cause I know when I wake up that what I’m going to sing that day I will never sing again. There’s no fixing it after, there’s no pre-recording it before, so yeah, trust me, I’m getting all the adrenaline I need right now.”
